Two Rainbows

by Tricia Kent


I was on vacation eighteen weeks after my son Christopher took his life and on that Wednesday (which is the day of the week my Christopher left me) I went onto the balcony of the hotel and looked out over the ocean where there was a rainbow.

When my grandfather passed away in 1993- on that day there was a rainbow, so I always talk to him when I see one.

I said "Hi papa, it's so nice to have you visit me on vacation, could you have Chris send me a sign if he is with you and happy".

I went back inside for something and when I returned minutes later....there were TWO rainbows, the faded one that I was talking to and just inside of it was a brilliant smaller rainbow. Of course all I could do was cry..then I got a picture of it.
